\u201cThe latest figures on the social position of German university students show once again that the children of ordinary workers seldom attend any of the country\u2019s universities. The offspring of the well-to-do and those whose parents have university degrees are by far in the majority at these institutions.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are also great differences evident within the student population itself. There are some who have to work so much to earn money that they are in fact only part-time students. At the same time, students whose parents are more prosperous have money to spend on books and travel. Bourdieu writes that because of the students\u2019 differing social backgrounds, it is impossible to speak of an integrated student body.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Tanjev Schultz, \u201eAkademiker unter sich,\u201c Sueddeutsche Zeitung, 20 June 2007.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like someone who has been attacked and injured by a group of thugs.
